Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Kasai turned the corner into the classroom he saw Haruko-sensei sitting behind a large desk throwing crackers into the air for her swallow, Rei, to catch. Kasai's mouth dropped in awe at the mere fact that she could summon creatures. He was so excited to start his training with her. Seeing that he was supposed to enter he walked in and sat down in one of the desks. "Good morning, Haruko-sensei," Kasai said, trying to use smiles to hide his nervousness. "How are you today?"

Shaking Haruko-sensei's hand, Kasai smiled and replied, "Umm... I'm fine... N-n-n-nervous is definitely a good description...." Kasai smiled awkwardly and wanted to kick himself. Stuttering had always been issues for him when he was nervous, so acting brave never worked, since his stupid stuttering always gave him away. Letting go of her hand he put his hands under the table and tried to keep smiling.

Kasai nodded and quickly jumped up from the desk and rushed out the door, closing it behind him. "Don't worry, Haruko-sensei," he called from down the hall, "I'll be quick! I won't let you down!"

Running down the hall of the academy, Kasai skidded to a stop in front of the door to the classroom where Haruko-sensei was. Opening the door, Kasai smiled and, holding up a paper, handed it to Haruko-sensei. "I looked at and read everything I could," he said.

Written on the paper in a fairly messy handwriting was:
Main Office - This is where you can look to find updates, upcoming events, and really anything that has to do with the guild. You can ask for suggestions, post new ideas, make petitions, and ask questions, also. Post questions in the Q and A sticky, make suggestions in the suggestion sticky, post petitions in your own thread with the title and a yes or no poll. To make a petition, though you must ask for permission in the Suggestions sticky first.
Anbu Hideout - Who knows? This is where Life and Death debate stuff, probably. No one knows for a positive, though.
Center of Town - This is where all of the city's buildings are. This is a safe place with minimal fighting. This is also where the stores are and where everyone hangs out.
Shinobi Records - A big book listing the village's shinobi. Everyone is urged to post their basic profile, at least. Crew profiles are stickies. Everyone else's is a regular thread.
Wilderness - This is the area outside the village. There are forests, lakes, cliffs, and more. Be careful, though, there are sometimes dangerous creatures.
Village Academy - Where I am now. This is where you come to become a genin. You can also request a teacher to learn a more advanced lesson. You must post in the Sticky to get a teacher. Sensei must make a thread to be the classroom of the student. Sensei will go over the protocol.
Training Grounds - The training grounds are like the wilderness in the way that you can find a good fight here. Better in the way, though, that the hospital is a lot closer. The training grounds are in rooms that simulate real scenarios.
Housing District - This is the area where homes are located. Chuunin and up are allowed to build their own homes, but all students and genin live in the Common House.
Command Center - This is where all orders come from. Each floor has a specific purpose and only certain ranks are allowed on certain levels. If you want a mission or are called for a debriefing this is where you are supposed to be.
Village Archives - This is where all dead or unused threads belong. The crew will move threads here and anyone is allowed to read them, just no posting.
Cells HQ - This is where members can form cells. Each cell has at least three members, including a captain.
Miscellaneous Missions - If you have signed up for a mission or hosting one, but don't know where to post, then post here. Here, you can make personal threads for missions. These missions can take place in the village, in the wilderness, and even beyond the borders of the map. You can even recreate areas. Just remember, no areas here are permanent.

Kasai took the piece of chalk, nervously, and was grateful that stutters didn't effect his writting. Reading the situation carefully, he started writing.

Kasai wasn't paying much attention. He was thinking about going back to the Common House for some sleep when he glanced up in responce to a sound. Flying in the air quicky, towards him, was a brute of a ninja wielding a long katana. Instantly jumping back and whipping out a kunai, Kasai parried the first atack of the enemy's katana, but not without great effort. Kasai turned to face the attacker, tensed for the next attack.

Stepping back from the board, Kasai glanced nervously at Haruko, waiting for her assessment of his writing.

God-modding is pretty much making your character invinsible. Making it unrealistic so that you can't be killed, can't be hit, et cetera. People don't like god-modding, because it makes it unfair. RPing looses it's fun if you try and try and use the most witty tricks in your arsenal and still can not beat someone, because they always use a barrier or they always dodge. It's okay to lose. I think Death-sama says that, a lot.

Metagaming is kind of like... being out of character. For example, if you were to come across a monster that no one had ever seen before, you couldn't possibly know that it's weak spot was it's neck unless you had battled it for a while and examined the situation and even then you might not realize it.

Is that good?

(Whoops. Sorry. Well, if you are the one that is god-modding/metagaming intentionally or unintentionally, then at the very least let them get some hits in and almost lose. Make it interesting. No one wants to lose, but try losing every other time or if you are, for example a Kage fighting a Genin, even though it makes sense that you wouldn't lose, act like the Genin is doing good.

If you are the one being god-modded/metagamed against then either forfeit the match [there is no way you can win and they aren't even worth your effort if they are god-modding] and alert a member of the crew. They can deal with it after that since it is out of your power.

Is that okay?)
